I don't see your point. FLS is a better system.
Airbus has this new fangled 'Soft Go-Around' technology where the motors throttle back on the go-around to give 2000 fpm climb instead of blasting up at TOGA power. Wow. Where have we seen that before?
Quite true, and more to the point it's the default go around.
Dynasty and other carriers have pranged a lot of 'buses over the years on those TOGA go-arounds.
I don't think TOGA has actually had anything to do with it. The issue was that the autopilot disconnect behaviour in the 300/310 was different once you were in approach mode.
On the other hand though, Boeing auto thrust behaviour seems to have been an issue of late.
Both makers have their good features, as well as plenty of others that make you wonder what they were thinking.
